DisparFam project – Measuring and Understanding Disparities in Family Formation in Low- and Middle-Income Countries – is funded under the EU Comission’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship Programme and is based at the Center for Demographic Studies (CED) in Barcelona.
This project is designed to advance our understanding of family changes across the globe, by providing novel empirical evidence on gender and educational inequalities in union formation and transiton to parenthood. DisparFam will focus on delivering tools and information that will help track and understand growing diversity in family formation trajectories worldwide.
In this space, I aim to share information about the work for researchers and policymakers.
